| Falkenstein, Germany | 348 ms | 2 of 2 checks |
| Berlin 2, Germany | 202 ms | 2 of 2 checks |
Each check runs from all locations at once. A location far from the site’s servers answers later; that says nothing about the site being slow.

About The National Archives
Welcome to The National Archives
Explore 1,000 years of history with the official national archive of the UK Government.
Visit nationalarchives.gov.ukTitle and description as published by the site.
We can reach it, but you cannot?
- Reload the page without the cache: Ctrl + F5 on Windows, Cmd + Shift + R on a Mac.
- Open the site in a private window. If it works there, clear the cookies and cache for nationalarchives.gov.uk.
- Try another network, such as mobile data. If that works, the problem is with your provider or router.
- Switch to a public DNS resolver such as 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8, then flush your DNS cache.
- Turn off VPNs, proxies and ad blockers for a moment. Some sites refuse those connections.
